A Private Boys’ Boarding School in the Catholic Tradition
Gregory the Great Academy is a boarding school for boys in grades 9 through 12. We offer a Liberal Arts education in the Catholic tradition by which a young man can cultivate virtue, deepen his faith, and sharpen his intellect.
Why an All-Boys Boarding School?
A long-standing tradition in schooling favors single-sex education, a model that was accepted for centuries and preferred by many saintly educators. Boys and girls live and learn better when they are educated separately, especially once they reach adolescence. Read More »

“The world is on fire. As in the time of Pope Saint Gregory the Great, we are engaged in a struggle to save Western Christian culture from the barbarians—only this time they have cell phones. I would like to introduce you to a high school that is fighting against this new barbarism. Gregory the Great Academy is both a ‘classic’ sort of boarding school for boys and a bold experiment in education. Its unique way of inspiring the practice of Catholic piety, while cultivating manly virtues in the students, makes it stand out from other institutions in America and Europe. My numerous contacts with the faculty and students of Gregory the Great Academy have led to an appreciation of what has already been accomplished by the teachers and young men and prompts me to look with bright hope to what is surely still to come of this cultural chevauchee.”

“Ours is a dark age, and it is going to get darker. If you want to prepare your son to live a full life in a dying age, send him to Gregory the Great Academy. More importantly, if you want your son to be part of the restoration of a culture rooted in the magnificence of the Gospel, send him to Gregory the Great Academy. And more important than that, if you want your son to take others with him to Heaven, then send him to Gregory the Great Academy. At Gregory the Great the next generation of disciples of Jesus Christ is being formed. To say they have their work cut out for them is a considerable understatement, but this school will see to it that they are up to the task. Joy and fervor, virility and piety, learning and reverence: Gregory the Great Academy is my favorite school in the whole world.”
“Gregory the Great Academy is an answer to so many prayers, including mine.” Scott Hahn, Professor of Theology

“Thank God for Gregory the Great Academy. It is a true school—a place where a boy can become a man with fire in his heart for the truth and the joy to be a witness to that truth. Gregory the Great Academy is an answer to so many prayers, including mine. This school deserves and needs your support to continue its fine work of forming young men, by converting our sons to our Father. Please help this school to survive and prosper. Gregory the Great Academy has my support. Won’t you offer yours today?”

“Gregory the Great Academy needs you. Given the state of affairs in our country, in our cities, in our neighborhoods, there is no doubt as to the need for havens like this school.What may not occur to you is the duty we all have to offer our spiritual and material support for such endeavors. The faculty of this school is on the front lines of a war over culture itself. They need us—all of us. It is only with our help, as we join them in participating in the grace of God, that they will carry on and develop their mission to educate a new generation of soldiers for Christ. Without us, without you, they cannot offer scholarships, put good food on the table, or secure a permanent home. Please join the drive to restore the art of Catholic education, and play a part in changing the lives of today’s young men who will be tomorrow’s leaders. My sincere prayer is that this place and this tradition will continue. Won’t you please join us in supporting this great and important work for the Church?”
